Eminem absolutely takes Trump apart in brutal new freestyle

The legendary Eminem may be 44, but it appears he’s lost none of his fire.

He’s released a stunning four minute long freestyle for the 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards which has spread like wildfire across social media and for good reason: it’s a no-holds barred, no punches-pulled brutal attack on Donald Trump.

Sure, Trump’s an easy target who we’re all used to hearing being criticised - but there’s something particularly visceral about seeing Eminem launch a sustained, angry attack with such force.

He even calls on his fans to decide whether they’re either on his side, or Trump’s, signing off the performance, recorded in his home city of Detroit earlier this week, with the line: “if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this:”Fuck you!”

He talks about nuclear weapons, the NFL protests, Steve Bannon, Puerto Rico, Nevada, Hillary and pretty much everything that the ‘racist 94-year-old grandpa’ has done before and during office.

Take a look here:

Here are the lyrics in full - and head to genius.com to see the story behind each one of the lines.

This the calm before the storm right hereWait, how was I gonna start this off? I forgotOh, yeah

That’s an awfully hot coffee potShould I drop it on Donald Trump? Probably notBut that’s all I got ‘til I come up with a solid plot

Got a plan, and now I gotta hatch itLike a damn Apache with a tomahawkI’ma walk inside a mosque on RamadanAnd say a prayer that every time Melania talksShe gets a mop–ahh, I’ma stop

But we better give Obama props’Cause what we got in office now’s a kamikazeThat’ll probably cause a nuclear holocaustAnd while the drama pops and he waits for shit to quiet downHe’ll just gas his plane up and fly around ‘til the bombing stops

Intensities heightened, tensions are risingTrump, when it comes to giving a shit, you’re stingy as I amExcept when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide ‘em’Cause you don’t got the fucking nuts like an empty asylum

Racism’s the only thing he’s fantastic for’Cause that’s how he gets his fucking rocks off and he’s orange

Yeah, sick tan, that’s why he wants us to disband’Cause he can not withstandThe fact we’re not afraid of TrumpFuck walkin’ on egg shells, I came to stompThat’s why he keeps screamin’, “Drain the swamp”’Cause he’s in quicksand

It’s like we take a step forwards, then backwardsBut this is his form of distractionPlus, he gets an enormous reactionWhen he attacks the NFL so we focus on thatInstead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for NevadaAll these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would ratherCause a Twitter storm with the Packers

Then says he wants to lower our taxesThen who’s gonna pay for his extravagant tripsBack and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?Same shit that he tormented Hillary for and he slanderedThen does it moreFrom his endorsement of BannonSupport from the KlansmenTiki torches in hand for the soldier that’s blackAnd comes home from IraqAnd is still told to go back to AfricaFork and a dagger in this racist 94-year-old grandpaWho keeps ignoring our past historical, deplorable factors

Now, if you’re a black athleteYou’re a spoiled little brat for tryna use your platform or your statureTo try to give those a voice who don’t have oneHe says, “You’re spittin’ in the face of vets who fought for us, you bastards”

Unless you’re a POW who’s tortured and battered’Cause to him, you’re zeros’Cause he don’t like his war heroes captured

That’s not disrespecting the military

Fuck that, this is for Colin, ball up a fistAnd keep that shit balled like Donald the bitch“He’s gonna get rid of all immigrants”“He’s gonna build that thing up taller than this”

Well, if he does build it, I hope it’s rock solid with bricks’Cause like him in politics, I’m using all of his tricks’Cause I’m throwing that piece of shit against the wall ‘til it sticks

And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of hisI’m drawing, in the sand, a lineYou’re either for or againstAnd if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re splitOn who you should stand besideI’ll do it for you with this:”Fuck you!”
